KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Deputy President Datuk Seri M.Saravanan
(pix) today called on all Indian-based non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the country to unite in the interest of future generations.
He said NGO leaders should discuss and resolve issues, including those concerning languages and the Hindu religion.
“We (Indian community) number about two million in Malaysia. NGOs need to think about unity among the Indian community and to avoid enmity,” he told Bernama after attending the Tamil Puthandu Kondatam event at the Kalamandabam Hall here, yesterday.
He was commenting on the issue of several Indian NGOs debating whether the ‘Thai’ month or ‘Chittrai’, according to the Tamil Calendar, should be celebrated as the Tamil New Year.
